Week in Review: September 3, 2021 - Rich Smith
Today on the show Crystal is joined by a new co-host, Rich Smith, Associate Editor of The Stranger! They discuss competing plans to tackle homelessness in the mayoral race, a ridiculously racist email sent (recently!) by Bellevue School Board candidate Faye Yang, the deep need for accessibility to be central to transportation planning, and a rare alliance of landlords and renters threatening to sue King County to expedite the distribution of rental relief funds.
